E-Cafardo (5)

So Granderson is on the verge (pending a physical) of going to the Yankees, who will give up prized center field prospect Austin Jackson, righthanded starter Ian Kennedy, and lefty reliever Phil Coke in a three-way deal that includes the Diamondbacks. Arizona gets righthander Edwin Jackson from Detroit and Kennedy, while the Tigers get Austin Jackson and Coke from New York, plus Arizona righty Max Scherzer and lefty Daniel Schlereth.

That is not what Cafardo originally wrote and what the Globe originally posted. As SoSH points out, the original version of that paragraph contained no fewer than five errors:

I also hate how reporters have blogs of their own. A blog about what it's like to be a reporter--that would be cool. But just because you're paid by a newspaper and are posting articles in real time, doesn't mean you have to call it a "blog" and therefore compete with real bloggers. (Especially when you're constantly ripping bloggers anyway.)

People keep mentioning the Red Sox are willing to sign Rich Harden , because they like pitchers who are coming back from injury with small one year contracts......Has this worked out for us yet????????????

Lowell, another guy we will be paying to play somewhere else....Good Clubhouse guy , still a good hitter, I hope this is making room for something bigger, because we can not open the season whith Kotchman at 1st.....

L: You took that part of my comment out of context. I left it that way because I explained it after. I didn't mean I hate that they have a place to write. I meant I hate that those places are called "blogs."

I feel we are in competition. Before, it was a bunch of regular people called "bloggers." Now we have to compete with "reporters" and their "blogs." When people search sports blogs, they now get unpaid fans AND paid newspaper reporters turning up.

That's what I'm trying to get at. I just didn't explain it too well, I guess.
